Inside YouTube Search

Every morning, we comb through YouTube's search data to investigate top spiking search terms and the videos they lead to:

• charlie sheen interview - Actor Charlie Sheen, who has given some unique interviews of late, is one of today's rising searches.
  
  
• marshmallow people - This surreal short from yesterday's 4 at 4 AM is still among the morning's top spiking searches.
  
  
• born this way music video - Perhaps unsurprisingly, searches are on the rise for Lady Gaga's new music video. (It's drawn 2 million views in roughly one day.)
  
  
• what are words - Chris Medina may have been cut from American Idol, but there's been a rise in interest in his first single.
